A CEO sending out that memo would be similarly ill-advised. For one, that's what counsel is for. For another, workers are intentionally encouraged to interpret laws and report discrepancies via government whistleblower programs.
Where do people think the agency derives 100% of it's power from? The President!
You clearly do not understand how the American system of governance is supposed to work. Every department has enabling legislation. Below is a link to a law passed by Congress and signed by the President establishing the DOJ.
Congress can design an agency, set it's processes and procedures, and give it money to run.
But the President is in charge of it within those bounds. The President can't decided DOJ doesn't need an Attorney General (Congress already decided that), but the President gets to pick the AG and the AG reports to the President.
I’m sad that you’re being downvoted. It’s clear that you’re correct. However, HN does tend to take extending the courtesy of assuming good faith to the breaking point, whether we like it or not.
It’s blindingly obvious that they are here merely to gum up discussion in endless loops that go nowhere under the guise of politesse and question marks, as if they’re just confused and asking clarifying questions.
The thing about assuming good faith, which I agree with in principle, is that you have to be willing to accept your own judgment of when someone is arguing in bad faith and disengage.
